ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
At Colegio Americano’s Elementary School, we strengthen the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, guiding our students through a key stage of their personal and academic formation. We promote critical thinking, the responsible expression of ideas, and collaborative work in an environment that stimulates discovery, empathy, and identity building. Our approach seeks to form confident, curious children who are committed to their surroundings—capable of taking on challenges with creativity and acting as global citizens with an ethical sense from an early age.
At Colegio Americano de Guayaquil, we nurture not only our students' academic development but also their character, integrity, and personal strength.
​
We believe in curious, committed children who are prepared to face an ever-changing world.
Our legacy of over 80 years supports an education based on meaningful experiences, where learning is built together and relationships endure.
We walk this path together. With our students' commitment and the support of our families, we will continue to reach new milestones.

Why does the PYP make a difference?
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) enhances authentic learning through inquiry, reflective thinking, and purposeful action. At Colegio Americano, the PYP is lived as a transformative experience that connects the curriculum with the real world, promotes autonomy, and cultivates an international mindset from the earliest school years. Thanks to this approach, our students don’t just acquire knowledge—they develop essential life skills: thinking critically, communicating with clarity, and acting with integrity and empathy.
